The Chautauqua Girls At Home

A small circle of young women return from a summer religious and educational assembly determined to carry fresh convictions into ordinary life. Their hopes meet practical tests in schoolrooms, household duties, social gatherings, and community religious work, where rainy mornings, weariness, and petty irritations reveal lingering faults. The narrative follows efforts to maintain spiritual fervor through prayer meetings, music, tableaux, revival services, and volunteer plans, while friendships, loneliness, tentative romances, and promises shape decisions. Gradually practical challenges prompt personal growth as faith is examined against everyday responsibilities and the task of serving others.
